Having seen a frequent 'spot' on CNN titled "60-Second Vacation" which featured Wakayama Prefecture, I decided to make the short hop from South Korea across to Osaka and spend a few days exploring Wakayama and the Kii Peninsular by train. The 5-day JR-West train pass I purchased on arrival at Kansai Airport for my travels also included travel on the Wakayama Electric Railway (Wakayama Dentetsu) - Kishigawa Line, so I was able to spend a few hours traversing the 14.3km line getting on and off trains at the main intermediate stop (Idakiso) in order to try each of the 4-themed trains ('Strawberry', 'Plum', 'Toys' and 'Tama'). The narrow gauge single track railway is wonderfully retro as it rattles and rolls its' way through the Japanese countryside and although there is no particular reason for travelling to Kishi, the experience is all about travelling on these wonderfully unique trains.

This is a very beautiful sticking up through the fall colors, the interior like so many other is devoted to its history. If seen from the right vantage point it is as impressive of any other well known castles.

It's a short distance walk from the Kimiidera train station to the base of the temple. It was drizzling when we go there, so the temple was a bit isolated, but it was so peaceful and tranquil around the temple area. Be prepared to walk up hundreds of steps up to the temple and around the area, so it's a bit hard for those with walking difficulties to walk up to the temple. At the top of the temple you can have a great view of the town. After visiting the temple, just walk out straight, cross a railway track crossing and take a bus from the main road to Marina City.
